IMPORTANT:
Please hold your child’s hand prior to exiting the school. Unfortunately, we have parents who
still DO NOT drive at an appropriate speed and don't forget to leave the over hang for parents
dropping off infants. We are also reminding parents to PLEASE end all cell phone conversations prior to entering the school. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
